"It took me nine months to edit because I wanted to show a little bit of each show, each performance on tour, and it was 116 shows, so you can only imagine how much work it was, [but] it was worth it."

The 'Why Don't You Love Me?' star also said that she insisted on complete creative control of the project to showcase her real personality.

She continued: "I felt like I've done so many different things, it's time for me to show a bit of who I am.

"The hardest thing was showing that, because a lot of things that I filmed, I filmed in my computer, and I would never have gotten so open if someone else was in the room."
